Exit Limbo: Opening

Exit Limbo: Opening is the first chapter of Mr Rhino’s journey. After a train crash, he wakes as its sole survivor in what seems to be a dystopian parallel universe: an infected, nightmarish version of his hometown. As he tries to make sense of this world, you fight for his life and witness his strength grow.

Fight your way through

This side-scrolling brawler builds on the classic beat ’em up formula with fast, relentless action and a multilayered combat system. You can use combos, special moves, throws and context-sensitive attacks, counter enemies, juggle them, bowl with their corpses, crush them under rolling barrels or tear off their limbs and use them as weapons. The world includes bizarre characters and gangs who control their own turf.

Explore the city

The world has a nonlinear level structure, with secrets and passageways you can open using your wit and acquired moves. You can parkour around its areas and visit shops. The game revisits the developers’ home city as a moody, apocalyptic landscape, with hand-drawn 2D characters and light-sensitive maps.

Music and style

The game features a retro synthwave soundtrack composed by the Exit Limbo band, which also takes part in the project’s development. Its visual style and music accompany Mr Rhino’s struggle to escape Limbo.
